Open Gloving Script:

Hello everyone, today I will be demonstrating the proper technique for open
gloving. This technique is an essential skill for health care professionals to prevent
the spread of infection in clinical settings. Proper gloving technique not only protects
you, but also your patients and colleagues from potential harm. By following the
steps I will demonstrate, you will be able to effectively remove gloves without
contaminating yourself or others. So, let's get started.

1.Secure the appropriate size and check the package including the expiry date

2 Wash and dry hands carefully.

3 .Place the sterile glove package on a clean and dry surface above the waist

the gloves.

inside of cuff, lift, step back.

7. Insert dominant hand into glove and pull the glove on , keeping thumb against
palm during insertion and leaving cuff turned down.

8. Insert fingers of gloved hand under cuff, hold thumb close to gloved hand to put
on second glove.

9. Insert second glove, adjust each glove , and carefully pull cuffs up by sliding
fingers underneath.

10. After gloves are on, interlock hands.

11 . To remove the gloves, grasp outside of end of the cuff with other gloved hand,
avoid touching skin.
